CNN International Changes

Have you noticed that CNN International is broadcasting from a new location within CNN Center in Atlanta? They are broadcasting from the former Headline News control room. Headline News stopped broadcasting their normal weekend programming from there when they moved into a new control room earlier this year.

CNN International is broadcasting from there because their current set is undergoing a complete renovation to debut sometime in early 2009.

More changes are in store for CNN International in 2009. We'll keep you informed on all of them as soon as we can.

I hope that the work on the CNN studio forAmerica. The Newsroom from Atlanta looksoutdated. They have cool studios in NY andWash, DC. Please do something with Atlanta.I also hope new music and more graphic updatesare on the way. It is my guess that CNN has thetechnology to do some infographics since I amnoticing some macs on the tv screen so I amguessing that a lot of use of Final Cut Pro ison the way.

I have been noticing some promos with thelets go theme on CNN. Does this mean thatchanges are on the way. If CNN has any sensethey would put TJ Holmes on the prime timelist and get rid of Lou Dobbs and give EricaHill a program for the 8pm hour. Also usethe CNN.com and Betty and Alina and peoplewho are tech buffs at CNN for the 3pm hour.Rick Sanchez has go to go.CNN needs to bringsome of it's 20-somethings and 30-somethingsto prime time. Lou Dobbs, Campbell Brownand Larry King don't seem to bring in viewers.to be a mix. MSNBC was smart to put the 30something Maddow on for 9pm. It did pay offwhen Anderson Cooper anchored 360 in 7pmhour.Maybe they can move Showbiz to the9pm hour on HLN and actually do some newsthey might help draw some viewers from MSNBC. CNN needs some fixing right now.
